Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Since most children love mashed potatoes, Grandma used the potatoes to encourage the children to eat vegetables they might not otherwise have enjoyed. She sometimes boiled a chopped, peeled parsnip, carrot or turnip with the potatoes, then mashed it along with the potatoes. Another favorite was "birds' nests." Grandma mounded mashed potatoes on the plate, made a well in them, and spooned in cooked green peas.
